Rodong Sinmun Saturday says in a bylined article in this regard:

The story of "provocation by the north" is sophism to cover up the U.S. and puppet warmongers' vicious ambition and moves to invade the north.

Provocation is made by the U.S. and its allies who are committing criminal act of creating an extreme danger of a war with huge nuclear armed forces involved by pulling up the DPRK over the exercise of its legitimate sovereignty and relying on unprecedented economic "sanctions" and pressure racket.

However vocal, they can never justify their policy for confrontation with the DPRK and cover up their vicious nature.

It is an invariable ambition of the U.S. to seize south Korea as the bridgehead for realizing the strategy of world hegemony and dominate the whole of Korea.

The U.S. has now become vocal than ever before about "provocation by the north" citing the DPRK's satellite launch and nuclear test.

The south Korean puppet forces are openly currying favor with and dancing to the tune of their master U.S. which is working hard to perpetuate its forces' presence in south Korea and ignite a nuclear war against the north.

Under the serious situation, all the compatriots at home and abroad and progressive humankind are clearly seeing through the deception of the story of "provocation by the north".

The story will turn into a funeral music inviting the miserable self-destruction of the U.S. and south Korea.
